i To'all whom t may concern:

- Be it known that I, Avoir Soutenir, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, inthe county of Cook, and State of Illinois, vhave invented a new and useful improvement in Ornamental Floclred Designs, of which the following is va specifica- My invention relates to an improvement in the art of design-printing, and more particularly in the art of printing designs in one or more colors, by impressing upon the sheetn d the design-carrying surface of a printi ,g-plate, n

rlhe primary object of my invention 1ste provide such plate-printed surfaces in close imitation, especiallfy as to dud texture and color, of a textile abi-1c there y to enhance the attractiveness of such designs for advertising purposes, as by `salesrnens'l cards, in displaying rugs, carpets, cloth, clothing and the like, and for, wall-paper and the like.

ln the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a plan view of a broken section of a print showing a rug-design-and involving my in vention, and Fig.` 2 is an enlarged section on line 2, Fig. 1, showing the parts greatly exaggerated.

To reproduce a variegated article by my invention, the design is produced with llock .of diercnt colors cemented to the surface employed through the mediuin of printingplates carryingdiderent portions of the design each coated with a size 4 of varnish or other suitable cementitious substance. rlhese lates, after thus coating each, are impressed in .proper succession, preferably in'. tlie or dinary manner of plate-printing by a printing press, on the surface of a sheet 3, ofA paper or other desired material, thereby transferring to the surface of the sheet the respective portion of the design 1n size. After each application of a printing-plate, dock 5, of wool, silk, cotton, or other suit and of desired color, is dusted or blown on the sheet-surfacel to become cemented thereto by the size, and is thereupon dried before applying the next printing plate. Any superfluous :dock or portion thereof which may be applied tospaces on the transferred design or configuration that Spectication of Lettere Patent.

are left uncoated with the cementitious size will not adhere 'to the surface and may be dusted ed. L To reproduce the Fig. l, or any each portion of the design for a dierent color to be reproduced by the dock is provided on a separate printing-plate. Then rug represented at t on the plate carrying the part of the design to be rst applied, as for reproducing the back-` ground, has the design thereon coated with the size and transferred, in the manner de? scribed, to the sheet, whereupon flock of Athe desired color, as red, is blown4 'or dusted thereon, (and the superjuous dock is re moved. When this is dried, lthe plate carryap lied is coated in' the saine way and' simllarly transferred to the sheet, in lproper registration with the portion or the -lioekcovered design previously provided thereon; and then-more flock of desired color, as yel-y low, is dusted or blown on the sheet to adhere to the size-covered parte of the designportion which does not adhere is dusted od. ln the saine way, dock of dierent colors, as black, blue, and the like, may be applied in succession and in proper registration, to complete the reproduction of a variegated rug, carpet,

or other textile article, care being taken to cause each Hock-portion of the design thus applied to extend cdgewise to the precedinly applied Hock-portion. f rints of designs of textiles thus produced on sheets oiordinary printing paper, card hoard and the like, present a very close resemblance to the fuzzy or occulent textile surface as well as to its coloring, thereby rendering the prints peculiarly desirable for exhibition in advertising-display matter;

and such prints provide very rich edects in wallaper. i l

l o not claim in the present application the process herein described, but reserve the right to claim the same in a separate future lication for Letters Patent. i" at l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- As a new article of manufacture, a sheet provided on one surface with a solid varieanalogous variegated article,

thereon, and that part of this iloclr e. ro con-f 'mann come eo., oise eonroearrron or immers.
